Labour leader Keir Starmer could tell voters he will quit if he is fined by Durham Police over Beergate in a bid to challenge Boris Johnson over rule-breaking in Downing Street.
Mr Starmer is expected to give a statement at 4pm and is aiming to get back on the front foot after cops reopened their probe into whether he broke Covid regulations in Durham while campaigning for the Hartlepool by-election last year.
The Labour leader was understood to be in talks on Monday about whether to announce a pledge to quit, according to the Times, after pulling out of a scheduled event where he would have faced fresh questions.
